As you guys know every month i give you my top five discovery choices from the
previous month so this is late august of course i'm going to talk about the five
top choices of discoveries i've made in the month of july so if you guys want to know what they are
some of these are incredible guys you definitely ought to know about stay tuned they're up next
All right the first fragrance i'm going to talk about here is a fragrance from a house
that most of you probably heard by now but if you haven't heard it's definitely number one
one of my favorite house discoveries of this year and these two fragrances i'm about to talk about
are just incredible in fact if you guys don't know the fragrance and you want to get to know them a
little better maybe you can get a discovery kit like this the house i'm talking about is of course
SCENTS OF WOOD, there's a ton of different fragrances and what they are is pretty much
a combination of different woods whether it be sandalwood, oak, or different notes
laced with those woods infused with those woods to come up with some incredible fragrance creations
one of the ones that i really loved and i shared with you guys and been talking about it a lot this
year is this one right here which is PLUM IN COGNAC, which i absolutely love but it's not the
fragrance i'm going to talk to you guys about today, the fragrance i'm in fact talking about
came on this little discovery kit that i just showed you and it's this fragrance right here
from Scents of Wood and it's called SANDALWOODS & OAK. This particular fragrance
if you guys like sandalwood, the creaminess, the sensuality of sandalwood, and the gorgeous
strength of oak notes, this stuff here is just absolutely incredible,
it's very sensual, it's almost like an elixir of seduction, the nose behind
this fragrance here is Mackenzie Reilly, she's an up-and-coming Perfumer, she's been doing
a lot of great work with Amouage and really doing some outstanding stuff, and this particular one
guys is right up there with Plum in Cognac, i like this stuff so much
i've actually ordered the bottle it's on the way and what i love about mostly about this
fragrance is number one it's unisex, it's gender free, anybody can rock this
and rock it you will because if you smell this fragrance you're gonna know
exactly what i'm talking about, it's outstanding, the smell itself is succulent, it's fruity, it's
a little bit boozy, it's definitely creamy with the sandalwood, it's a little bit spicy, and it gets you
from all different angles, it's blended to perfection, it's just something so unique and gorgeous
you'd want to drink it, it's like a gorgeous cocktail, apart from the
sandalwood and oak which are really the start players here the two woods here that you're
gonna get most predominant you also have this fragrance embellishments with clary sage, vanilla,
sugar cubes and of course guaiac wood, i get other notes here like fruitiness up top like a coconut
rum type of a deal, it smells amazing, like i said, it's like a a cocktail of sensuality,
Sandalwood & Oak, check out this brand you're not going to regret it. Next up we have a
fragrance from a fragrance house that is very underrated, there's a couple fragrances
that i love about this brand, Isle of Man being one of them, 1270 is a great dried fruits and cognac
combination, Lumaniste is a great fragrance, aromatic like a gin and tonic, anyway the brand
is incredible and this fragrance here is no different we're talking about CHECKMATE guys,
I love the the embellishments on the bottle itself details at the bottom wooden cap with FRAPIN
right at the cap, the sprayers are really nice, you can actually control the mist
and Checkmate is a fragrance that is definitely gender free, in fact all fragrances here on this
list are not going to be very masculine very feminine
they're right in the middle i think this top five here best discoveries of last month are great
because everything here i'm actually sharing with my wife so it means if you're a lady out there and
you want to rock these you can, the room smells amazing guys. Checkmate is basically a very nice
woody leathery and floral type of a fragrance, what i love about this one is it opens up
with this almond kind of a note, almost like a marzipan along with iris and heliotrope, so
the almonds are really amped up given this almost like a powdery/smoky vibe about it, it's very
sophisticated, very elegant, the only thing you can think about when i'm smelling
this fragrance right off the bet when it opens is that you're gonna get some nuances from
the ever so popular and copied Baccarat Rouge 540, but it's not a clone, it doesn't smell
like Baccarat Rouge 540, but for a minute there it's going to have some of those nuances that are very
sophisticated and elegant that you get from Baccarat Rouge 540, but then it goes
into a totally different element here along with the heliotrope, the almond, the
spices, the beautiful leather that this has, it's very unique guys, it's one of those fragrances that if
you want to really stand out, make a statement when you walk into a room, Checkmate as the name implies,
checkmate, you're gonna definitely make a statement guys, besides the notes i talked about like the
floral components you also have a gorgeous note of dried cedar and oak in the base that will give this
a gorgeous woody base dried down along with those floral accords, the leather ,the spices, the beautiful
cardamom here, this is a must try, Checkmate from Frapin. The third awesome discover here comes from
the house of GOLDFIELD & BANKS, the boys down under from Australia, and this one here is
called SILKY WOODS, this is a semi-gourmand type of a fragrance, it's going to be
rather sweet, creamy, again almost boozy, it smells like a gorgeous boozy dessert, it smells
like a drink, like a cocktail, it's very fruity, it's very boozy, there's a ton of great notes in
here like sandalwood, spices, a lot of cinnamon in here, i do get like a boozy accord which has
like a bourbon vanilla kind of an infusion, definitely woods at the base, i get like a nice
chocolatey patchouli in here, it smells like a million bucks, if you like
gourmand, sweet, another one of those fragrances thar definitely is gonna make you stand out,
it's one of those statement type of fragrances great for romantic settings
nightwear, dressier occasions, you could wear this as a signature scent
i would not wear this as a signature everyday scent, i would definitely wear this for more
special occasions, the weather is going to start to turn here i can't wait for fall
and winter because this is definitely one of the ones that i'll be gravitating towards and expect
to see this in top videos in the upcoming months guys, Silky Woods from Goldfield
and banks, an outstanding stuff right here. Speaking of i can't wait for the weather to turn for the
fall season, Autumn, i can't wait for the winter time to come around
it can't come fast enough because second fragrance i'm about to show you is perfection
when it comes to cold weather fragrance, of course you can potentially wear this all year round if
you control the sprayers but i think this stuff is going to shine like like crazy on my skin
as soon as the weather gets colder. I'm in New England, New York, Connecticut area, so i know that
we get really rough winters this stuff here will make me smell like a million bucks and i'm talking
about the new from ZAHAROFF, THE SIREN, i did a first impression for you guys not just on this
fragrance but in the whole collection of the Zed cCeators which i'll pop it up here so you guys can
check it out if you haven't, which i really go in depth into all the fragrances, but this one
here guys, the Siren, was my favorite on that video and it's still my favorite guys this is absolutely
a stunner, holy mackerel, we're talking spices, we're talking leather, we're talking oud
we're talking every single note that i love, vetiver, oak moss, you name it, this
has everything i love when it comes to fragrance, it's got all my favorite notes
i think the only thing it does not have is tobacco, everything else this stuff has, from a gorgeous
spicy opening with almonds and coriander and cardamom to a delectable lavender heart, which also
contains some great spices like cinnamon, leather, coffee, dark chocolate, a beautiful oak moss which
gives us a nice vintage elegance to the fragrance and the absolutely stunning patchouli
drenched in cognac and the bourbon vetiver, guys this is a masterpiece, i'm telling you
right now, The Siren is one of the best releases of 2021, one of my favorite discoveries for sure
that i cannot wait to rock when the weather starts to get colder guys, amazing stuff right
here. Now let's flip things around, let's talk about something that's perfect to wear right
now, the weather's still very hot, i'm getting still 30 plus celsius which means
80s to 90 degrees so we're still very hot here it's still August, the weather's not going to
really turn until about September, ;ate September when we get into the fall
season, so perfection right now for spring and summer or if you're somewhere where the weather's
always hot if you're somewhere that you experience tropical weather throughout the year
this my friends is perfection for that kind of weather, perfection for citrus aromatic
genre, this is going to be ELECTRO LIMONADE from another one of my great discoveries from this
year from the house of L'ORCHESTRE PARFUMS which is a fragrance brand that i've heard so
much about over the past two years and i couldn't wait to get my hands on this stuff and try it and
i am so enamored with this one here guys. Eectro Limonade, let me just actually spray this on it'll
be my scent of the day today, this smells so good, i'm gonna go heavy on this guys, this is long lasting
but it's like i said, oh my god i smell so good, it's perfection, if you like citrus scents this has
it all, it opens up with this gorgeous melange of citruses, we're talking tangerine, clementines
lemons, limes, bergamots, and this absolutely stunning mojito drink, if you like mojito, minty with limes
that's what you get with this stuff right here in the opening, it's very very bright,
very effervescent, it's very invigorating, i it's captivating, compliment inducing,
smell like a million bucks it's simple as that, but then there's so much more to this fragrance
it is very powerful and long lasting guys, as you get into the heart of the fragrance you have this
absolutely stunning rhubarb note that adds this creaminess and a sour kind of a vibe
to the fragrance it's like yin yang, hot meets cold, but it stays effervescent, it stays
very fruity and very bright throughout the whole life of this fragrance
if i had to do like a top five beast mode citrus fragrances of all time this would make that list
it's actually right now in my top favorite five citrus fragrances of all time, i would keep this
for life, if i had discovered this fragrance earlier this year it would make my top
within my top five probably within my top three, top citrus fragrances for this
summer, this is this is incredible, Electro Limonade, i'm telling you, if you want a perfection
type scent for citrus aromatic genre do not snooze on this one, try this out come back
here and thank me because i'm telling you this is mind-blowing guys, at the base you also have
this amber here which adds this nice sweetness and sophistication to the fragrance along with vetiver
and frankincense, a nice little spicy and smoky facet to the fragrance, it's so
freaking good, Electro Limonade from L'orchestre Parfums, one of my favorite discoveries from last
